Keep customer commitments in<br />

an unpredictable world<br />

Delivering fast, accurate response with Kinaxis RapidResponse<br />

In today’s non-stop high-stakes world of complex global commerce, companies thrive<br />

or fail by the responsiveness of their supply chains. Commitments must be met, margins<br />

maintained and market share fiercely protected. Responding to customers with the correct<br />

answer at the right time can be a big challenge when shifting trade regulations, devastating<br />

events and unexpected market demands threaten supply chain stability.<br />

Creation Technologies, a global provider of transformative end-to-end solutions for OEMs,<br />

understands how critical fast and accurate responses are for customers. It’s why the<br />

technique and what-if scenarios, Creation Technologies is highly responsive and agile in the<br />

face of any supply chain challenges that arise. Concurrent planning delivers a supply chain<br />

and flexibility to yield supply chain opportunities, and is able to leverage economies of<br />

scale in procurement while reducing landed cost.<br />

“With RapidResponse, we can predict, monitor and respond to supply chain challenges<br />

proactively from a single concurrent point of view,” said Ana Cantu, Executive Vice President<br />

building tangible value for our OEM customers.”<br />
